George stepped out of his mecha, feeling somewhat dejected. He hadn’t anticipated that he would be expelled from the rift so quickly after entering for reconnaissance, and on top of that, he lost three mechas. Such losses were not insignificant for them.
Just as Zhao Hai had thought, the mechas they used for reconnaissance were all top-quality ones from the O'Neill family, with the cost of the first one being significantly higher than that of an ordinary mecha. Losing three at once was a huge blow to them.
Besides the loss of the mechas, the impact on their morale was also considerable. George was someone who always strived for victory, but he was not included when the family first sent out scouts, which left him feeling quite uncomfortable.
In a big family, being a scout and having the family entrust you with such critical missions was not meant to send you to your death, but rather a show of trust. If the family had faith in you and saw potential in you, how far could promotion be?
George was an ambitious person; he wanted to be an official, a high-ranking one at that. However, he was not the leader of the first scouting team, which made him somewhat frustrated. He believed that his command abilities were on par with Lushiming, who was just a washed-up genius whose strength couldn’t compare to his. As for Penis, he was overly cautious and a bit sluggish in his actions. In George's eyes, neither of these two was as outstanding as he was, and he felt he should have been the first choice for the family’s scouts.
Disappointment washed over him, but fortunately, the family sent him out in the second batch, so he was determined to put in a good performance.
The net-style reconnaissance advancement method was invented by George himself. He had to admit that George was quite capable, though his luck had been somewhat lacking.
When Lushiming encountered the Underworld, the people there would not attack you if you left the black mist. Perhaps they viewed the area within the black mist as their territory.
Penis had entered the demon realm, where there were no longer any inhabitants, so he didn’t encounter any attacks. George, however, entered the God Realm, right in Zhao Hai’s rear, so Zhao Hai naturally wouldn’t be polite with him.
Their losses this time weren't massive, but for George, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing because Lushiming and Penis had both gained some results while he had only suffered losses. Although he had some gains, the losses made George’s expression rather grim.
As soon as George came out, he immediately said to a person beside him, “Quickly arrange for someone to send a message to the family, explaining our situation here and detailing our losses. Ask the family to send reinforcements as soon as possible.”
The person next to him quickly acknowledged and turned to make arrangements. George glanced around; there were already twenty battle cars and about three hundred mechas gathered. This number was not to be underestimated, but George still felt it was not safe enough. Up to this point, they hadn’t even seen who their opponents were or what kind of weapons they were using, so George commanded, “Relay the order, the entire army retreat to the city behind for rest, and focus on monitoring this spatial rift.”
Although George felt quite frustrated at the moment, as a qualified scout, he made the correct decision. He was an official, but being an official didn’t necessarily indicate weakness. At times, being an official could be an advantage; if he wanted to become a high-ranking official, he needed to deliver results, and George was just that kind of person.
He was very aware that his biggest asset now was his ability as a scout. As long as he performed well, he could possibly ascend to a higher rank. Therefore, he had always excelled in reconnaissance.
As soon as George’s order was given, the battle cars immediately started up and began to retreat. However, George didn’t enter a car but stood on top, watching the spatial rift of the divine race with a complex expression. After a while, he snorted coldly and said, “Just wait, I will return.” After saying that, George jumped into the battle car and headed toward a city behind.
